Commissioners discuss state RHTP funds and need for county EMS assessment
Summary
Rich County presenters outlined that participation in the Rural Healthcare Transformation Program requires an EMS needs assessment; state funds or grants may cover assessment costs, and commissioners discussed hiring a consultant or using RHTP funds.
Lindsay Miner of Rich County Ambulance and Joey Stocking, Rich County Emergency Manager, briefed the commission on the Rural Healthcare Transformation Program (RHTP) and its role in providing ongoing funds to Utah over the next five years. They told commissioners that the county must participate in an Emergency Medical Services needs assessment to qualify for RHTP funding and discussed options for conducting the assessment, including hiring a consultant.
Officials noted the State could potentially cover the assessment costs through RHTP funds or other grants. Commissioners discussed potential uses of any RHTP funding and next steps to secure and administer an assessment if the county elects to participate.
